CAD Exchanger Web Toolkit

The CAD Exchanger Web Toolkit is a JavaScript library to visualize, explore and analyze 3D CAD models. Web Toolkit can be used to develop web applications running publicly or on premise (i.e. inside a corporate network).

The CAD Exchanger Web Toolkit is used as an underlying engine of CAD Exchanger Online Viewer.

Key Features

The CAD Exchanger Web Toolkit provides the following features:

• Support of 30+ 3D formats (with the help of CAD Exchanger SDK).
• Access to product structure of assemblies and parts.
• Support of B-Rep (Boundary Representation) and mesh (tessellated) geometry.
• Access to metadata: names, user-defined properties, id’s, etc.
• Visualization of colors, materials, textures and transparencies.
• Measurements: bounding boxes, distances, angles. (With the help of CAD Exchanger SDK, additional measurements are available such as surface area, volume, centroid, minimum bounding box, etc.)
• Reading of PMI (Product and Manufacturing Information).
• Multiple display modes, including shading, wireframe and ghost views.
• Interactive selection and hovering in 3D view.

Installation

Web Toolkit can be installed from npm and CDN.

Install from NPM

To install the Web Toolkit npm module, open your project folder in a terminal and run:

npm install --save @cadexchanger/web-toolkit

The package will be downloaded and installed.

There are two options to include WTK to your project:

// Option 1: Import the entire library.
import cadex from '@cadexchanger/web-toolkit';

const model = new cadex.ModelData_Model();

// Option 2: Import just the parts you need.
import { ModelData_Model } from '@cadexchanger/web-toolkit';

const model = new ModelData_Model();

Install from CDN

To install from CDN simply add the following lines:

<!-- Load minified bundle library which includes all necessary dependencies -->
<script src="https://cdn.skypack.dev/@cadexchanger/web-toolkit?min"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
  const model = new cadex.ModelData_Model();
</script>
